Hi to all the members!
i have been given one problem of finding effective induactance for the coils as drawn in figure between ab terminal.
L1=L2=L3=2H and M=1,
so, how i could get the solution.

Your subject line mentions "mutually" coupled coils, but your schematic doesn't show any mutual coupling. Without knowing the mutual inductance, you can't calculate the answer.

I have indicated the dots in figure and mutual iductance M=1 for three coils
and this example is given as unsolved to me and i want to get solution of it

Has anyone got a solution for this one. I assumed the OP meant the mutual inductance from any one winding to another was the same value of 1H.

After some laborious algebra I calculated Lab=11/6 H. Anyone concur?

Sure - I agree. I'm guessing the OP's teacher wouldn't be satisfied with the just the unworked answer. From my experience as a student it was always frustrating not to have the 'correct' answer. At least you had a check of your worked result. But we haven't heard from the OP anyway, so I'm also guessing they have moved on.

sorry for not replying in time
i was applying KVL in circuit shown in figure.and try to get equation
v=Leqdi/dt

but i get answer by that is 1.25

so plz tell me the procedure to get right answer that is 1.83H
 
Do you know how to write the loop equations for a circuit? Did you try to do this for your problem?

I'll have another look for your response in a few hours.

If you will show the details of how you got 1.25, perhaps we could you find the error in your calculations.
